A DISTINGUISHING ACCIDENT. -
4 Memphis Young Lady Drowned
In Cowpasturc River.

MmLBoR0', Va, August "a most
distressing accident, resulting III the
drowning Of Kiss AMAZE Ayent, most
attractive ard logable young lady, of
Memphis. Tenn, occurred about 4
O'Clock this afternoon in the Cow
pasture river, about seven miles from
this place and near Nimrod Hall. 1t
seems that about two dozen ladies were
taking their customary bath in the
river. Several of them joined hands, at
tempting to crosswhere the current was
especially swift stronger than they had
any idea. When they got near the mid
die of the stream the velocity OF the
current was so great that it swept the
feet from under Miss Avent, Mrs. Val
Rucker, Of Amherst, Va, and Mrs.
Mullen, of Lynchburg. The latter two,
after having sunk several times. were
rescued 10y the diligent efforts OF sew
cal gentlemen, who were fortu-
raiely in calling distance, bat
hiss Avont had hoated out OF
their reach. llcr body was found
about two hundred yards down the
river, lodged between two large rocks.
Dr. Nickel. of this place, was imme-
distcly summoned, and succeeded in
1osuscitating Mrs. Rucker and Air..
Mullen, hut Miss Avent was beyond
human aid. Miss Ayent was a grand
daughter OF DIR. McRac, a prominent
physician of Memphis lately deceased,

ST. LOUIS, August Gerry Pageles,
the murderer of Samuel Kohn, for
which crime he was under sentence to
he hanged Friday, August 18th, com
mitted suicide in his cell last night by
cutting sn artery in his left arm above
the elbow. 1t appears that after cut
ting his arm he wrappeda towel around
it, allowing one end to rest in bucket
in his cell that the dripping of blood
might not attract attention. When his
cell was visited at o'clock this morn
ing he was dead. Pageles killed Samuel
Kohn November 10, 1885, because the
latter, who was salesman for a rival
tsnnery, secured some of Pageles's
trade. The case, after passing through
ill the State courts, was appealed to
Justice Hart, and again last Saturday
10 Justice Miller for a writ of error
1t was denied in each case, and Pageles
escaped the gallovs by suicide.
